The Adventures of Robin Hood [Blu-ray] [Standard]

The Adventures of Robinhood is an all time classic well worth the buy.

There shouldn't be much that needs to be said about the 1938 Errol Flynn Robin Hood on a critical level. If you haven't seen it, you need to. Done. This particular BluRay release of the film has a great bonus though. Night at the Movies 1938 has a brief intro by Leonard Maltin (?) talking about what an event going to a movie was back then, followed by a trailer for "Angels with Dirty Faces" (Cagney), a newsreel, an orchestral/swing performance, a Merry Melodies cartoon, and then flows right on into Robin Hood. It's just as if you'd been at the movie house in 1938. I highly recommend it! (I think it is my copy of Maltese Falcon that has a similar bonus.)

I grew up watching this movie whenever it was on TV. Couldn't stream movies back then, we had to wait for it to come on again. Love the acting, story. You can still have a great movie without all the blood and gore of the action movies these days. That being said, I do like the Russell Crowe version too. Will watch this one over and over again.

Wonderful film. Great Technicolor. Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland early in their careers. A light, whimsical story that holds up well. Nice political edge.

We love this old classic, the best of the Robin Hood movies. So glad it is available on DVD/Blu-ray, as our old VHS tape is well loved/played/worn!
